What is Systemic Therapy?
Systemic therapy views individual problems in the context of the relationships and systems a person is part of — family, couple, workplace. Instead of focusing solely on internal processes, interaction patterns and communication are explored. The method is widely used for family therapy, couples therapy, child and adolescent issues, and relational conflicts.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål
Does the whole family need to participate in systemic therapy?
Not necessarily. Systemic therapy can involve the whole family, couples, or individuals. Even when only one person participates, the work focuses on understanding and changing the relational patterns that contribute to the problems.
What is systemic therapy typically used for?
Systemic therapy is particularly suited for family therapy, couples therapy, children and adolescents with behavioural difficulties, eating disorders, substance abuse, and relational conflicts. The method is also used in organisations and workplaces.
What are circular questions?
Circular questions are a central technique in systemic therapy, where the therapist asks about others' perspectives. For example, 'What do you think your partner experiences when you withdraw?' It creates new understanding of the interaction.
